Before you start your application

Make sure you understand all the costs and processes involved

If you haven't already read it, there's plenty of information in our resource consents section.

Fully complete all the relevant forms and provide as much detail as you can

The Resource Management Act says that a resource consent application must:

  • be made in the prescribed form and manner, and
  • include an appropriately detailed assessment of environmental effects

This means that if we don't have all the required information from you, then your application may be considered "incomplete". This will cause delays in the processing of your application, and may lead to increased costs.

Select the relevant activity or proposal below

Clicking on an activity will expand the information. You can then find out the deposit charge and the forms required.

You will usually need to complete three separate forms:

  • Form A (general administrative details)
  • Form B (information specific to your proposed activity) and
  • Form C (other matters)

Editing forms: Most of our forms are editable PDFs. We can supply a Word version of a form, on request.

To edit a PDF: Make sure you save the document out to your desktop before you start editing! If you start editing in the original version on this webpage, your changes won't save.

Many proposals need supporting information. These may include plans, photo drawings or technical assessments. Where possible we would prefer this information to be provided in electronic format. Please use a flash drive, or a cloud-based file transfer system such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

Any personal information you provide us is held and processed in accordance with the Local Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and the Privacy Act 2020. Please let us know if there are any privacy or confidentiality issues.
